    Bodycams should not have a way to turn them off on the field, there’s no legitimate reason to, some states even allow it but require a 10 second timer

      Honestly, why they don’t constantly run but have button as a marker for “I have to take a bathroom break” and not review that footage unless something happened that requires review during that time period is beyond me.

        Because those very same cops also have access to evidence. And within days every single female officer’s bathroom pics will be in the text messages of every male officer.

      Or if you wanted to pretend the court system was real; presumption of pig guilt for anything off camera.

      But that will never happen. Accountability will come from you, or it will come from nobody.

      If the camera is off they are no longer a cop until it is back on. That needs to be the rule. Then if they cannot provide footage a lot of civil lawsuits will be able to get past QI bullshit at least.
